What song did they use for Project CX? It sounded like Nakajima Miyuki.

In case you didn't find out yet, it's Chijou no Hoshi.

What's this?!

Pretty sure they mentioned that it's some sort of fire escape in a previous episode.

It's the opposite, it's the "Hey Firemen, come in this way" sticker. So I guess you can call it the fire entrance.

Yea, Arino made a joke saying something like "The Chief will be saved first." or something.

So, in the latest episode translated, when they're talking to Arino about his 40th birthday live broadcast, there's a white sticker on the window that I've never noticed before. The white triangle, looks like a warning of some sort? What is that?

Basically the equivelent of this:

Of course with a new DVD release in Japan coming out this week it's probably better to wait for it to get here.

I showed Battletoads pt 2 to my roommate, his girlfriend, and their friend that was over. It was the first time any of the three had watched the show. Every one of us was yelling every drat time. That goddamn rat race.

Hey guys, new guy and a big Game Center CX fan. I'm a video game merchandise collector and I'm trying to find some Game Center CX merchandise. Is there anywhere online where I can find the King/Queen/Prince plushes, GCCX Uniform, or other merchandise? I've searched all over Yahoo Japan and ebay, but I just can't find anything.

I'm skimming the topic trying to find some info currently.

Well, if you were in Tokyo yesterday there was some for sale at the fan even in front of Fuji TV. Fan events are the only place where GCCX merchandise is regularly sold. The next opportunity is going to be the Tokyo Game Show next month.

I looked around for something besides the DVD set and books when I was in Japan and had no luck so any GCCX merchandise is going to be obscure and hard to find.

Speaking of which, Amazon.co.jp now has the listing for the ninth box set. The bonus challenge is one that has me excited: it's Spelunker! That's one I've been waiting for a long time to see on the show.

I wish they had some sort of online GameCenter CX store, but having the merch exclusively at fan events is pretty admirable and adds to the value of the items.

NmareBfly posted:

Does the Japanese version of Battletoads not have the pause music? Or do they just mute it for the sake of the show? I mean, it gets repetitive fast but it's so good. He pauses a few times -- 44:40 is one.

I hope not! It would feel a tiny bit empty without it. Plus, then I couldn't jam out to it.

Fat Albert is virtually unheard of in Japan. He was just randomly playing around.

I looked this up and apparently it makes no difference whatsoever.

Holy poo poo, guys!



I ordered an NES cartridge box and some games from eBay and got them today.



Opened it up, a decent assortment of games as advertised, but there was a beige cart I didn't recognize. Pulled it out and...



:stare:

OK, maybe someone's just loving around for a laugh, I thought. Stuck it into my NES and...



:stare: :stare:

Wait, is this fully...



:stare: :stare: :stare:

My...god.

I couldn't contain it, I had to share it with the world, but stills don't do it justice. No, I had to show you a video of the game being played...

And then I thought, no, this STILL doesn't do it justice. Dust off your emulators. I don't care what the note says, I won't suffer this alone.

Important tip for anyone attempting to play (I can't really call it "playing"): apparently you exit battles once you've won by pressing down and attack.

You can hit your allies so avoid that. The white dragon is the horse and the monk will sometimes show up. If Sun Wukong does dies then one of them will take over but the monk is incapable of attack.

Good luck finding your way around that map. No wonder Arino spent so much time lost...

I've been exiting battles with just the attack button and no direction. Also, the attack button doesn't seem to do anything except trigger the animation because I just won a fight by running back and forth until they all poofed. :argh:

I have just warped to a small island with no way off.
